How Blest Are They Who Trust in Christ
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #646 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Chalice Hymnal Lyrics: 1 How blest are they who trust in Christ
when we and those we love must part;
we yield them up, for go they must,
but do not lose them from our heart.
2 In ripened age, their harvest reaped,
or gone from us in youth or prime,
in Christ they have eternal life,
released from all the bonds of time.
3 In Christ, who tasted death for us,
we rise above our natural grief,
and witness to a stricken world
the strength and splendor of belief. Topics: Life of Discipleship Death and Eternal Life; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Death and Eternal Life; Death; Eternal Life; Faith; Funerals and Memorial Services; Grief; Trust Languages: English Tune Title: MARYTON

Thomas Tallis
1505 - 1585 Hymnal Title: Rejoice in the Lord Composer of "TALLIS' CANON" in Rejoice in the Lord Thomas Tallis (b. Leicestershire [?], England, c. 1505; d. Greenwich, Kent, England 1585) was one of the few Tudor musicians who served during the reigns of Henry VIII: Edward VI, Mary, and Elizabeth I and managed to remain in the good favor of both Catholic and Protestant monarchs. He was court organist and composer from 1543 until his death, composing music for Roman Catholic masses and Anglican liturgies (depending on the monarch). With William Byrd, Tallis also enjoyed a long-term monopoly on music printing. Prior to his court connections Tallis had served at Waltham Abbey and Canterbury Cathedral. He composed mostly church music, including Latin motets, English anthems, settings of the liturgy, magnificats, and two sets of lamentations. His most extensive contrapuntal work was the choral composition, "Spem in alium," a work in forty parts for eight five-voice choirs. He also provided nine modal psalm tunes for Matthew Parker's Psalter (c. 1561).

John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Person Name: John Bacchus Dykes, 1823-1876 Hymnal Title: Singing the Faith Composer of "RIVAULX" in Singing the Faith As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern.

1825 - 1898 Person Name: H. Percy Smith Hymnal Title: The United Methodist Hymnal Composer of "MARYTON" in The United Methodist Hymnal Henry Percy Smith (b. Malta, 1825; d. Bournemouth, Hampshire, England, 1898) was educated at Balliol College, Oxford, England, and ordained a priest in the Church of England in 1850. He served five churches, including St. Michael's York Town in Farnborough (1851-1868), Great Barton in Suffolk (1868-1882), Christ Church in Cannes, France (1882-1892), and the Cathedral in Gibraltar (1892-1898). MARYTON is his only tune found in contemporary hymnals and is thought to be the only tune he published.
